On April 5, 2019 Leadership Fairfax is proud to present this popular event, bringing together Fairfax County and regional leaders for a conversation with the Board of Supervisors on the state of the county. Get an "under the tent" peek at what is going on in each supervisory district and inside info from the top executives in the county. We will also honor an outstanding community steward with the Katherine K. Hanley Award for Public Service.
